One of the victims was stabbed with a knife and the other was beaten inside the hotel room.

"Never heard anything," said Elizabeth Sealy, who lives nearby, "It's normal to hear police cars, but it's usually going across the bridge or something. You never really pay it any mind. But to hear that it was right here is very scary."

Elizabeth Sealy lives on Yarnell Street, less than a block away from the hotel.

"That's scary because usually we're people we leave our doors open, the kids go outside," said Sealy, "So, that is kind of scary now seriously."

Hotel management released this statement:

"The Candlewood Suites Reading holds the safety, comfort and well-being of our guests and employees as our top priority and concern. The hotel team will continue to cooperate fully with authorities in their investigation."

West Reading police said they are making progress in this investigation and hope it will come to a quick conclusion.

The good news, police said: they expect both victims to recover from their injuries.
